Essential Care
Essential Care
Essential Care is a homecare agency serving Santa Clara, California and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.
Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.
In California, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the California Department of Social Services and generally must maintain a Home Care Organization (HCO) Registration. California requires registration as a Home Care Organization. Caregivers are generally required to be registered through the Home Care Aide Registry.
Payment Options: In California, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), Home and Community-Based Alternatives Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact California Department of Health Care Services or visit https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Pages/AssistedLivingWaiver.aspx to learn about eligibility and how to apply.
When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit California Department of Social Services for more information about homecare services in California.
Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.

Donna and her caring team have made a big contribution to my 92-year old mother's quality of life. The daily check ins have provided peace of mind both for Mom, and the family. The Essential Care team have gone the extra mile in compassionate attention and support, during times in which the immediate family was out of state and unavailable for personal care. Thanks very much for the quality care! - Russ Bartlett and family
The team at Essential Care led by Donna Hughes cannot get enough praise from me. They cared for my mother in her final years in a way that truly made them seem like extended family. Mom always looked forward to their visits, and would describe for me in animated detail the various activities they did together. Donna provided regular updates with helpful suggestions for modifying the plan as Mom’s situation evolved. I would recommend anyone needing a little support with an aging loved one get in touch with Donna to craft a care plan.
My mom has received care for the past two years or so. As her needs have changed Essential Care have been able to change and accommodate us. Mom is well looked after, always dressed well, with her make up and jewelry on. She always likes to look her best. My mom loves her team of caregivers and I honestly feel they love her too.
My Gram was here for over three years and Donna Hughes was AMAAAAZING! She took such good care of her and made my Gram feel like it was family looking after her. I cannot say enough good things about Donna. Right up to the end - Donna was all about showing my Gram the kindness and compassion every human deserves. Thank you Essential Care! Thank you Donna!!
I could not keep my mom in her lovely home at the Warburton if it were not for the aides at Essential Care who keep an eye on her, make sure she takes her meds and is safe. As much as my sister and I want to, we cannot be there every day, several times a day. I completely trust Donna, Kidist, Genevieve, and the rest of Donna's team to keep mom safe and happy. Thank you so much!
